I've backed up the old server and created a vanilla new one.

Sith, Sparko and Jewelz have decided to start on Omicron this time.

Cheers Oldie,

Omnicron is no picnic. Siths death count is racking up nicely.

They seem to be quick on the patching of this new version, which is nice.

Hit a very annoying bug last night which caused me to lose about 300 hydrogen cells, shift+click took out the required amount of stuff  from my inventory to fill an empty tank but only filled one position. Didn't realise until I'd lost it all. Log out and back in fixed it.

[Sparko]

yeah its good that they are shifting bugs before releasing the next version rather than just adding them to a list.

I have a weird thing happening when i get into my sv in space.  i now always get a message pop up when i get into the cockpit saying 'Only passengers can enter a planet' :blink:

....only started happening since the main update.   ......its probably me doing something wrong no doubt.

You'll get that when you are docked with a CV that's powered up. It's warning you that only CV passengers can travel and that anyone inside an SV attached to a CV will probably get killed.

Thought I'd just post it here that EMPYRION is on SALE I think at its lowest price yet! Just over £7!
So anyone who's thinking of giving it a go, or maybe has a friend that would like it, let em know!

EDIT: and the trailer on Steam is a much earlier build that was considerably more ugly!

Just a few pointers for those that do want to partake......

1. Do yourself a favour and have a play at single player on easy for at least an hour, just to get a feel, the dMw server is on the hardest setting and is unforgiving.

2. Spawn on "Akua" and not "Omnicron", this is the fluffy planet, but will still kill you pretty fast and at least has breathable air.

3. You start in a slightly steerable escape pod, steer away from any buildings you can see. It's preferable to be near water as there are currently no water predators and you can put on your helmet and breath if you need to hide. If a red marker appears on your radar then get in the water and wait for it to leave. It's a drone and once it sees you it will hang around. The mountains are pretty safe, but there's nothing there to eat. About 20% of the fauna will attempt to eat you.

4. If killed, "respawn at current position", do not "restart", your start position is determined by the time of day on the spawn planet. If you restart then you will spawn with none of the initial supplies you get from first spawn, you will spawn a long way from your old body and you have made life considerably harder. Respawning at current position will move you a short distance from where you died, but you then have a chance at getting all your gear back. Whatever killed you will still be around though.

5. It gets easier after you have got your base and a defensive canon up.
